According to the conveners of the campaign, “the key focus of the #MyVoteMyDemand project is to drive progressive actions and collaborations of key individuals and organizations to compel the aspirants and leaders to deliver on their promises and provide needed infrastructure in key areas such as Security, Health, Infrastructure and policy, Entrepreneurship and enterprise, Power, Education, Employment, and Gender issues”.
The campaign seeks to address the issues of accountability of public office holders against the backdrop that some public office holders cannot be held accountable. “Despite general opinion that Nigerian leaders can’t be compelled to be accountable, it is the hope of the campaign team, on behalf of the populace to drive engagement of the aspirants and their campaign team with the electorates via the open platform of online media, to outline their intended strategies in order to execute their promises and foster a sense of accountability”, the campaign group’s statement reads in part.
The campaign which is majorly driven via Online media platforms, will also focus on defining the role of the citizenry in driving national development, enlightening the electorates on leadership structures and responsibilities of the various political offices and government organizations and drive discussions about ongoing issues in a bid to promote informed voting amongst the electorates for the candidates of their choice based on their own assessment.
